Downtown Streef Redesiqn — Explanation for Gt�r sx. #32223
7/18/97
The recently published Saint Paui on the Mississippi Development Framework,
provides direction for development on the rivertront and downtown. The Framework
includes guidelines for redesign of downfown streets. The CIB Committee is
racommending approval of the first two years (1998, 1999) of downtown street
reconstruction. This wiil include Wabasha, St. Peter, Fifth and Sixth streets. We
propose to do preliminary engineering in 1997 to review and revise street and sidewalk
standards. We are adjusting our priorities to do this work within current 1997 budgets.
The attached resolution will transfer $i00,000 from the Water Street Project to the
Downtown West Sireets Project.
The Framework identifies the fo4lowing objectives in redesigning the downtown street
system: attractive, convenient transit; maximized on-street parking; greater friendliness
to pedestrians and non-motorized traffic; and substantially calmed traffic. Using an
updated traffic study, we wili review traffic direction, number of lanes, lane widths, on-
street parking, sidewalk widths and bike lanes. Chapter 3 of the Framework (page 55)
covers this.
The Wabasha Initiative, just recently funded in its second year by the City Council, has
a purpose of utilizing a public/private/non-profit partnership to take many immediate
actions to improve the fiunction and appearance ofi Wabasha Street. We are improving
the appearance of this key downtown street, improving confidence in downtown and
anticipat+ng the start of longer term improvement projects. We are learning through the
{nitiative what attracts people to the Wabasha area. We will appiy this knowiedge to the
redesign and rebuilding of downtown streets.
Here are the actions which we wiil undertake in 1997 and early 1998 anticipating the
construction funding in 1998:
1. Utilize a multi-disciplinary team to review and restablish street and
sidewalk standards for downtown.
2. Conduct a downtown traffic study to provide a modei of present and
expected traffic.
3. Classifiy all downtown streets according to present and expected
pedestrian use. The Framework suggests dividing streets into three
pedestrian use categories: destination streets, connector sfreets,
background streets.
4. Reestabiish standards for downtown street and sidewalk construction.
The attached 5reen sh. #32223 will transfer fiunds from Water Street to Downtown West
Street Redesign. It wili not increase Public Works spending or draw down other revenue
sources. Water Street was scheduled for reconstruction in 1997. Ramsey County is
wifiing to do this through a full overlay for this sfreet with county funding. This wi11 add
several years to the life of this street, and provides an opportunity to redirect those fiunds
to a higher priority.

Downtown Streef Redesiqn — Explanation for Gt�r sx. #32223
7/18/97
The recently published Saint Paui on the Mississippi Development Framework,
provides direction for development on the rivertront and downtown. The Framework
includes guidelines for redesign of downfown streets. The CIB Committee is
racommending approval of the first two years (1998, 1999) of downtown street
reconstruction. This wiil include Wabasha, St. Peter, Fifth and Sixth streets. We
propose to do preliminary engineering in 1997 to review and revise street and sidewalk
standards. We are adjusting our priorities to do this work within current 1997 budgets.
The attached resolution will transfer $i00,000 from the Water Street Project to the
Downtown West Sireets Project.
The Framework identifies the fo4lowing objectives in redesigning the downtown street
system: attractive, convenient transit; maximized on-street parking; greater friendliness
to pedestrians and non-motorized traffic; and substantially calmed traffic. Using an
updated traffic study, we wili review traffic direction, number of lanes, lane widths, on-
street parking, sidewalk widths and bike lanes. Chapter 3 of the Framework (page 55)
covers this.
The Wabasha Initiative, just recently funded in its second year by the City Council, has
a purpose of utilizing a public/private/non-profit partnership to take many immediate
actions to improve the fiunction and appearance ofi Wabasha Street. We are improving
the appearance of this key downtown street, improving confidence in downtown and
anticipat+ng the start of longer term improvement projects. We are learning through the
{nitiative what attracts people to the Wabasha area. We will appiy this knowiedge to the
redesign and rebuilding of downtown streets.
Here are the actions which we wiil undertake in 1997 and early 1998 anticipating the
construction funding in 1998:
1. Utilize a multi-disciplinary team to review and restablish street and
sidewalk standards for downtown.
2. Conduct a downtown traffic study to provide a modei of present and
expected traffic.
3. Classifiy all downtown streets according to present and expected
pedestrian use. The Framework suggests dividing streets into three
pedestrian use categories: destination streets, connector sfreets,
background streets.
4. Reestabiish standards for downtown street and sidewalk construction.
The attached 5reen sh. #32223 will transfer fiunds from Water Street to Downtown West
Street Redesign. It wili not increase Public Works spending or draw down other revenue
sources. Water Street was scheduled for reconstruction in 1997. Ramsey County is
wifiing to do this through a full overlay for this sfreet with county funding. This wi11 add
several years to the life of this street, and provides an opportunity to redirect those fiunds
to a higher priority.
